The Risorgimento, a pivotal period in Italian history, was marked by various events and influential figures that shaped the path towards Italian unification. One such figure is Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose portrait captures his determination and revolutionary spirit. During the Second Italian War of Independence, the Battle of Castelfidardo showcased the resilience of the Italians as they fought for their freedom. The Piedmontese army under the leadership of Camillo Benso Cavour played a crucial role in this battle. In another significant event, Piedmontese troops were stationed at Bologna during the 19th century. This strategic move demonstrated their commitment to uniting Italy under one flag. The Battle of Turbigo further exemplified the bravery and patriotism displayed by Italian soldiers during this era. The vibrant colors depicted in artwork from that time bring to life both the intensity and significance of this battle. At the Battle of Volturno, we witness yet another chapter in Italy's journey towards unification. The Piedmontese army's presence symbolizes their unwavering dedication to achieving a united Italy. Artistic representations also shed light on key aspects of this movement. An allegorical representation showcases Christian virtues surrounding King Victor Emmanuel II while condemning tyranny, vice, and superstition under its ruins – emphasizing hope for a brighter future. Another powerful image depicts triumphant Italy standing on top of a snake representing corruption within the church while raising symbols like a sword with a cross and flag that represent political strength. Giuseppe Pellizza's cartoon titled "The Fourth State" provides insight into societal issues faced during this period through softened grease pencil strokes on canvas paper – serving as an artistic commentary on social inequality prevalent at that time. Lastly, let us not forget Garibaldi's bust carved out of marble in 1875 – an enduring testament to his heroism and contribution to Italy's struggle for independence.
